Its Immense Power lor. Good ; the South. The co;ton-growers of the South should stand firm for good prices, unmoved by tbe bear trartic of the speculators. The world c m take every bale of their coitun, even if prices of the stable were higher than at pre sert. The English papers are full of the tremendous boom in Britain's coal trade, many of tbe large producers having sold their en tire expected output of 1908 Miners' wages are at the maxi mum, ana tne operators are struggling to find more men England's iron and steel trade is in the same condition, with steel rails selling at more than $3 a ton above tne price wnicn our steelmakers are getting. On the Continent somewhatsimilar con ditions prevail, and in Asia there is widespread awakening, with reports of advancing prices of building materials and of labor. The splendid prices which the grain-growers ot tne west ana the cattle-raisers of the country are getting assure their ability to be better consumers than ever before. Under such conditions the South should receive the very highest prices for its cotton. It holds a world monoply, and it would be lalse to its own pros perity, to its best educational development, to the betterment of all its people, if it did not un itedly struggle to secure the highest possible price for its cot ton. If the people ot tnis sec tion would see it blossom as a rose, it tney wouia see every farmhouse improved and made more attractive, if they would see tens of thousands of new dwellings on the farms and in cities with every -modern con venience for lessening the labor of the housekeepers, if they would see an era of good road construction, if they would see schools and churches every where, then let them realize that good prices, high prices as com pared with the 10 years of starva tion prices encHnvr in 1902, would neau all th'-se- things, aiifl that pmoerlv handled the Soutli hd this situati iii absolutely wuhni its control. Ten ytars air the fottoti crop, seed included, aver aged about $350,000,000 a jear. La: t year it was worth over $800, 000,000, and this vear it should command $900,000,000, Con sider fur a moment what this vast difference or $500,000,000 or more a year means. It i.s a mighty fertilizing power which will enrich the soil of Southern busiuess life and bring forth a harvest of aboundiug prosperity, i CLOVES NEWS. Death oi Child.

Charlotte Chronicle, There was a small strike of cotton mill operatives in Char lotte a few days ago, and this was followed by a small strike of mill operatives in Gastonia. Both strikes were so easily settled as to sustain the belief that there was no need for either. When matters are sifted down, it will be found that the South ern cotton mill managers give no cause for a strike. In the two cases cited, the operatives found that their demands - could have been secured by the sensi ble course of a conference with the mill men and that the spec tacular display oi a "strike" was altogether unnecessary. This should teach the Southern cot ton mill operatives to think twice before being influenced by the strike agitator. He never suffers, but those who follow him suffer. The strike agitator is an enemy the wage-earners of this section of the South need to be on their guard against.
